Oregon.
I got pulled over for speeding. I didn't have auto insurance coverage at the moment.
The officer cited me for Speeding $145, Driving uninsured $242, and Failure to carry proof of insurance $242.
When I got home, I called an insurance company and got coverage. My insurance card states that my coverage began on the day that I was cited. I have pleaded not guilty, and have a trial scheduled.
Please tell me the best way to play my cards. I don't want the "driving unisured" conviction,
I don't want to piss off the judge. I have thought about presenting my insurance card as evidence, but I know that the judge would ask me some incriminating questions. Could I submit the insurance card and decline to testify or could I testify and just plead the 5th????
Your help is apreciated!!!
